"Black Lives Matter" versus "All Lives Matter"

So....my area of the country has been under siege lately regarding "Black Lives Matter." Now, my understanding of this movement is that it NEVER meant that ONLY "Black" Lives Matter, but rather that "ALL" Lives Matter AND black lives have habitually put last. In other words, the name of the movement could have easily been called "Black Lives Matter Also!," hence, simply identifying systemic racism as a very real and pervasive thing that not only challenges the lives of black people but also seriously stands in the way of human progress as a whole. Obviously, because we can't have a fully functioning society if we are held back by racism.

Now....DISCLOSURE: I am not black...in fact, I am a white, upper class, male, with a 6 year degree, a 6 figure income, and a trust fund. I'm also highly conservative and I HATE racism.

Question: Is there anyone out there on lichess that has a different perspective on Black Lives Matter or is my perspective overtly obvious to anyone that isn't merely blinded by racism?
This is the fourth time this exact thread has been done.
Would you kill a person if you knew for a certainty that if you didn't kill them they would go on to kill somebody else,that somebody else not being yourself or somebody whose death would directly lead to your death?
